I have a puzzeling situation with two different controls I'd love some thoughts on:

1. I have a combobox (drop down list style) whose dropdown appears far to the left of the control. It's also unreasonably wide sometimes, but this can probably be dealt with by the data widths feeding the control. I've looked in the debugger at runtime and checked/changed columnwidths and nothing seems to affect the width or position of the dropdown. The position problem the more troublesome, Ring any bells?

2. I have a toolbar with a strange button behavior. One of the buttons can be pressed once and then stops responding to events. Example, I have a property on my forms that holds another form name so a user can "nextform" to another form. These can, in some cases, chained 4 or 5 deep. The nextform code works fine, it's not complicated, but the button only works one call deep. If form A is displayed and the user hits the next form button, form B pops up as expected. If the user hit the nextform button again, nothing happens. I mean nothing! The click event isn't called, the mousedown isn't called, etc. The button visibly depresses, but nothing happens. If I close form B and hit the nextform button, works great but not a second time. It's not form specific and the button calls the exact same global procedure that the menu pad calls, so it's not the code call(it doesn't get called), it's the button. I don't think I've ever seen this kind of behavior before.

Have I somehow lost the "WorkTwiceInARow" setting?

Thanks!

Gary
